Слайд 42How to get published with international journals?
Слайд 43Before you start………….
You must have a clear topic
or topics to
be reviewed,
what is your research
question?
Слайд 44Ideas where to start
As well as ‘traditional’ research…
Are you working on
a Doctoral or Master’s thesis?
Have you completed a project which concluded successfully?
Are you wrestling with a problem with no clear solution?
Do you have an opinion or observation on a subject?
Have you given a presentation or conference paper?
If so, you have the basis for a publishable paper
Слайд 45Editors are looking for “something new and preferably surprising” according to
Dr. Peter Smith, a Cambridge philosopher and former editor of Analysis, the philosophical journal.
NEW IDEAS

NEW IDEAS
Слайд 46Be Careful:
There are 1,000,000’s of published studies. You need to MASTER
your topic: be aware of works completed by others, updates or/and be ready to answer questions or summarize it.
Слайд 48Oxford Bibliographies Online
OBO is a library of discipline-focused, online guides to
the essential literature across a broad range of subject areas.
Each OBO article, written and reviewed by top scholars in the field, is rich with citations and annotations, expert recommendations, and narrative pathways through the most useful and important works on the topic in question.
Intuitive linking throughout quickly delivers the user from a citation to full-text content, whether online or available through a library’s catalog.
“We are drowning in information, while starving for wisdom. The world henceforth will be run by synthesizers, people able to put together the right information at the right time, think critically about it, and make important choices wisely.”
— E.O. WILSON

Слайд 56Criteria You Might Look At:
Rankings (example Thomson Reuters Impact factors; the
Association of Business Schools ABS etc.)
Number of downloads (utility)
Dissemination of journal (where it is read)
Links to societies/associations
Relevance of content and publishing ethos
International
Слайд 57Questions to Ask Yourself
When Choosing:
What are your most important factors
when choosing a journal?
Which resources do you use to research the journals you publish in?
Which rankings do you use? How important are they?
Who do you ask for advice?
What is the best journal in your field? Why?
Слайд 58PROCESS!!!!!
Putting A and B together to build up your work
Слайд 59Surviving peer review
Not always straight forward proccess
Слайд 60Research is all about peer review
You need to avoid a desk
reject
You may need to revise and resubmit
You will almost certainly need to alter your paper
Слайд 61The Process
Submission is an important step on the road to being
published
Reviewers are selected for their expertise by the Editors
They do sometimes make mistakes and their opinions may not be valid
But generally they raise genuine concerns about the work – conceptualization, execution and/or interpretation of the work
Слайд 62The Process
Their comments are aimed at maintaining the quality of papers
publish in the journal, the overall journal reputation and ultimately at improving your work to attain a high standard of academic writing.
Слайд 63Process Conclusion:
Identify a few possible target journals but be realistic
Follow the
Author Guidelines: scope, type of paper, word length, references style, etc.
Find where to send your paper (editor, regional editor, subject area editor) …
… and how to send it (email, hard copy, online submission)
Send an outline or abstract to editor: is it suitable? how can it be made so?
Read at least one issue of the journal
Слайд 72What makes a good paper?
HINT: Editors and reviewers look for …
Originality
– what’s new about subject, treatment or results?
Relevance to and extension of existing knowledge
Research methodology – are conclusions valid and objective?
Clarity, structure and quality of writing – does it communicate well?
Sound, logical progression of argument
So what?’ factors!
Recency and relevance of references
Adherence to the editorial scope and objectives of the journal
A good title, keywords and a well written abstract
Слайд 73Co-authorship?
With supervisor, different departments or institutions
Exploits individual strengths
Especially useful for cross-disciplinary
research
Demonstrates the authority and rigour of the research
Increases potential pool of citations
But remember
Ensure paper is edited so that it reads as one voice
Identify the person responsible for closing the project
Agree and clarify order of appearance of authors
Слайд 74Peer Review:
Peer Review is important to assess your work before submitting
it.
Have fellow colleagues, tutors, scholars look at your work and give you feedback to avoid desk rejection. You do not want to be refused by appearing uninformed concerning your submission.
Always expect that you would have to amend, alter and revise your paper to submit a more accurate version.
Слайд 75Plagiarism and referencing
Plagiarism (from the Latin plagium meaning ‘a kidnapping’) is
the act of taking someone else’s work and pretending it is yours. It is considered fraud!
It isn’t always detected in peer review but electronic tools can help
Слайд 76Revising
A request for revision is good news!
You’ve avoided a desk
reject and you are in the publishing cycle
Nearly every published paper is revised at least once
So now, close the deal!
Acknowledge the editor and set a revision deadline
Clarify if in doubt – ‘This is what I understand your comments to mean…’
Meet the revision deadline
Attach a covering letter showing how you met the reviewers’ requests (or if not, why not)
Слайд 77Dealing with the comments:
Answer as completely as possible
Answer politely, be tactful
and not with emotive language
Answer with evidence
If you feel the reviewer has misunderstood then address the point with a good argument explaining why the reviewer is mistaken
It may be the reviewers are conflicted on a point
It is ok to use one reviewer to argue against another
Слайд 81If your article is rejected
Ask why, and listen carefully!
Most editors will
give detailed comments about a rejected paper. Take a deep breath, and listen to what is being said
Try again!
Try to improve the paper, and re-submit elsewhere. Do your homework and target your paper as closely as possible
Don’t give up!
At least 50% of papers don’t get published. Everybody has been rejected at least once
Keep trying!
Слайд 82How to sell your work
Use a short descriptive title containing main
keyword – don’t mislead
Write a clear and descriptive abstract containing the main keywords and following any instructions as to content and length
Provide relevant and known keywords – not obscure new jargon
Make your references complete and correct – vital for reference linking and citation indices
All of this will make your paper more discoverable which means more dissemination and possibly more citation

Слайд 104Краткая история издания
Первое издание редакционного руководства для научных журналов AMA появилось
в октябре 1962; в нём было 68 страниц и предназначалось оно, в первую очередь, для штатных сотрудников, и лишь во вторую для авторов. Издание росло медленно, но уверенно: от 90 страниц во втором издании, вышедшем в свет в 1963, до 154 страниц в шестом, изданном в 1976.
Восьмое издание дало начало сегодняшней «традиции» — комитету из 10 профессиональных редакторов из JAMA и Archives Journals, ответственных за контент и получение внешних рецензий (peer review) по всем разделам.
В 10 издании, выпущенном Oxford University Press в 2007, руководство продолжило наращивать объём, который составляет сейчас 1032 страниц.
